1 Intraplaque hemorrhage assessed by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and C-reactive protein in carotid atherosclerosis  Luciano Cabral Albuquerque, MD, ScD, Luciane Barreneche Narvaes, MD, Aluísio Antunes Maciel, MD, Henrique Staub, MD, ScD, Maurício Friedrich, MD, João Rubião Hoefel Filho, MD, ScD, Maurício Barreira Marques, MD, Luis Eduardo Rohde, MD, ScD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 46, Issue 6, Pages (December 2007) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Association between the presence of hyperintense signal on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurologic symptoms as evaluated by an independent neurologist unaware of MRI findings.

3 Fig 2 Absence of association between the presence of hyperintense signal on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and different degrees of angiographic stenosis. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 A, Representative example of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging shows absence of hyperintense signal (white arrows) on sagittal and (B) axial views. C and D, Histologic findings (hematoxylin and eosin staining) from the same patient show the absence of intraplaque hemorrhage.

5 Fig 4 A, Representative example of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging shows hyperintense signal (white arrows) on sagittal and (B) axial views. C, Histologic findings of intraplaque hemorrhage from the same patient, recognized as extracellular and intracellular metahemoglobin on (D) hematoxylin and eosin staining (reddish-orange coloring).

6 Fig 5 A, High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels according to different degrees of angiographic stenosis. B, Levels of hs-CRP according to the presence of stable or unstable neurologic symptoms and the presence of hyperintense signal on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging.
